We've all heard of Mafia offers - offers that are too good to refuse - from It's Not Luck. But are there other ways we could use our TOC thinking to improve...
Risk management is not just about avoiding loss. PMBoK Fourth Edition includes positive effects, not just negative. Risk. An uncertain event or condition that,...
Hi everyone, I've just published the final version of my short biztech parable Rocks into Gold. You can read it free at www.rocksIntoGold.com (you can also...
Hi, All Any MS Project experts here? My question is: "Can I change the way MS Project plots the peak load by period on the Resource Graph?" The help says it...
... Really? It should be displaying peak for whatever timescale you have selected. Leveling calculation options are used only for leveling as far as I know. ...
... Clarke Congrats. It is a quick and entertaining read. And it might just make a difference. -ski P.S. I do find the PDF price a little steep, but as you...
... Thanks! I must admit that now that I've gone public I feel like I'm walking down main street naked. ... To be honest with you ... I never paid that much...
... Clarke Bought it. Still was $6.88USD (curse you weak dollar!). Howard Meeks taught me (the former eCommerce guru) the value of PDFs. On the Mac (that you...
Hi, Jack Thanks. The behavior surprised me, as till now I had used it only for simple cases, and it seemed to behave as I expected...i.e. it looked like it was...
Hi Clarke, Just finished Rocks into Gold and thoroughly enjoyed it. A few years ago this approach was used in the construction of a parking deck in Raleigh. As...
I've just discovered the BBC's radio programme "more or less". It's about maths and statistics AND it's interesting. You can listen to old programmes and /...
Clarke, I was unable to access the programme you linked to. I suspect it is because I am outside the UK. In the past I have problems trying to access BBC...
Did you try the itunes link? That may work but you'll only get new episodes. Sent using my BlackBerry Bold - the thinking man's iphone. www.clarkeching.com ...
Clarke, thanks very much for Rocks Into Gold. On accessing the BBC a link via itunes should work, but I hesitated to suggest that as it would create extra work...
I pick the podcast up from itunes. I think there's a link on the right hand side of the bbc page. Sent using my BlackBerry Bold - the thinking man's iphone. ...
Hi, Folks I tried to get this straight some time ago, thought I did, but am having difficulty with it again. I am sure it has nothing to do with this month's...
Larry, If you do not get something more definitive, try thinking of "throughput" in the non-ToC sense of "number of units converted from WiP to (FGI or...
Larry, <snip> The problem I keep having with it is that it suggests that if we reduce WIP, we reduce Throughput. We know reality is the opposite. </snip> If...
From a Lean perspective, it's easier to reduce WIP then it is to tackle c/t, relative to throughput...IAW Imai, go to Gemba... r/ Marcel ASQ/DoN LSSBB ... ...
Larry, I have thought about this since our last go around. Little's Law deals with long-term average numbers in a stable system or systems that are in a state...
Hi, Marcel Isn't the Throughput = ACR, 2/day in both cases? If so, you show cutting cycle time and WIP both in half keeps the same T. That's not bad, but does...
Hi, Brian Thanks...you may be on the right track. I am thinking of a second equation: the MM1 queuing equation for the length of the line. I haven't put it...
Hi, Prasad Thanks. The law is restricted to steady-state. There is a lot of stuff on the Internet on it, so I think its been worked pretty well. Regards, Larry...
Hi, Marcel Thanks for the reference. I have one of Imai's books...will check it out Larry ... tackle c/t, relative to throughput...IAW Imai, go to Gemba... ......
